North Carolina Campuses9 Students To Atten
Drinking Policies Investigated Student Legislature
co ,
Numbfe- 32"*
With Legislature considering ■
change in the UNC-G drinking
policy, The Carolinian felt that
it might be interesting and
informative to investigate the
drinking policies of other North
Carolina campuses. The
following is a summary of the
results of this investigation:
Letters were written to the
Dean of Students, the campus
editors, and the atudent
government presidents at six
campuses, the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill,
the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte, North Carolina
State University at Raleigh,
Davidson College, Duke
University, and AAT State
University.
The Dean of Student* at
UNC-G was the first to respond.
He reported that on their
campus the University
"discourages the drinking of
alcoholic beverages, drunkeneas,
and other abuses of alcoholic
beverages by any student.
"Being under the influence of
alcohol is conisdered serious
breach of conduct and students
who violate these standards and
students and students' guests
who display alcoholic beverages
at school functions on or off the
premises are subject to
appropriate disciplinary action."
D.M. MacKay, Dean of
Students at UNC-C, said that he
felt the enforcement of the
drinking policy was effective.
The policy has been in effect for
three years.
Davidson replied next.
Richard C. Burls. Jr., Dean of
Students, reported that
Davidson's drinking policy was
included in their Code of
Responsibility which went into
effect in October, 1968. He said
that there had not been a
substantial evaluation of the
policy yet, but he feels that the
policy is effective.
The Code of Responsibility
states that "the possession and
consumption on campus of beer,
ale, and wine by students 18 and
over, and of other alcoholic
beverages by students 21 and
over, shall be permitted only
within private homes, fraternity
houses, residence halls,
designated areas of the College
Union, and any other area of the
campus which the College
Administration may designate
for a specific occasion."
A later letter from Robbie
Hooker, editor of the newspaper
at Davidson, phrased it
differently. "After 131 dry
years," he wrote, "Davidson
went wet last fall under the
provisions of the Code of
Responsibility, which says, in
effect, we (the college) are giving
you certain freedoms (e.g.,
drinking and open dorms) within
the context of additional student
responsibility and maturity in all
phases of campus life."
"In terms of enforcement,
there have, apparently, been no
problems. For on the whole, the
student body seems to hsve
acted responsibly with the new
privileges. One of the campus
security officers actually told me
last month that since the new
code went into effect he haa had
less trouble with rowdy
students."
North Carolina State
University at Raleigh responded
next. The Assistant Director of
Student Activities Richard C.

Legislature To Review
University's Budgets
The Joint Appropriations
Committee of state legislature
will hear the budgets of the
Consolidated University this
Thursday. In a recent Chamber
of Commerce meeting where the
topic of budget approval for
UNC-G and AAT were discussed,
Chancellor Ferguson stated that
UNC-G, to evolve as a
full-Pledged university, needs
more "B" budget money.
Fersuson explained the
budget system briefly to the
Chamber meeting attended by
fifteen students from UNC-G
and students from Greensboro
College and AAT State
University. The "A" budget, for
continuation of the present
programs, is set by a formula.
All units share equally, although
the amounts are different. The
"A" budget money is essentially
the same amount per student.
The "B" budget is the key to
expansion, according to
Ferguson. He said that the
Chapel Hill branch of the
Consolidated University with
30% of its enrollment in
graduate work, compared to
barely 20% at UNC-G, will get
more money. The "C" budget
for building expansion is also
fair; according to Ferguson, "No
one gets any buildings."
Albert Lineberry, the
president of the Chamber of
Commerce, stated that the group
encouraged its members to write
and talk to state legislators,
urging them to approve the
budgets of the state supported
universities. He also asked the
members to speak to alumnae of
both universities to ask for their
pressure on legislators.
"The university must have
finances to advance," said
Lineberry. "AAT and UNC-G
need more financial assistance
from the state."
Calvin Matthews, student
body president at AAT State
University, addressed the
meeting. "We need more money
and we request your support,"
he said. Matthews repeated
Lineberry'« request for pressure
on legislators; he added that if
they could call the governor,
then they do that too.
"Our recent trouble might
possibly be due to the limited
range of expanses," Matthews
said, referring to the students'
peaceful "occupation" of their
administration building.
"Education," Matthews
concluded, "depends on
financial advancement. (The
Legislature should) follow
through to approve the budget
of AAT. And UNC-G, too."
Snowden, reported that "North
Carolina State University
disapproves of the use of
alcoholic beverages at any
student function on or off
campus. . . The University will
judge individual student conduct
on the basis of the Campus
Code. Under the Campus Code,
students are responsible for
conducting themselves as ladies
and gentlemen at all times.
Intoxication and boisterous
conduct resulting from the use
of alcoholic beverages are
examples of what could be
considered violations of this
Code.
"The policy has been in effect
for a number of years and was
implemented in reference to
residence halls in the Spring of
1987."
Duke University's Acting
Dean of Men, Richard L. Cox,
responded next. He sent a copy
of the booklet concerning
Information and Regulations.
The booklet stated that within
the limits of the law, the
University is prepared to leave to
the individuals directly
(Continued an Page S)
A twelve member delegation
from UNC-G will attend the
annual State Student Legislature
in Raleigh this week. The
delegation, headed by John
Pinnix, will present a bill
entitled Higher Education Act of
1969.
"Basically, the bill reduces the
number of trustees in the
Consolidated University," Pinnix
said, "from 109 to 24 plus ex
officio members. It also sets up s
regional university system
composed of AAT State
University. Appalachian State
University, East Carolina
University, and Western
Carolina, with the addition of
North Carolina College at
Durham, to be renamed North
Carolina University at Durham.
It would also establish college*
of the regional university
system, to include Wilmington
College, Asheville-Biltmore
College, Winston Salem State
College, and Fayetteville State
College."
Pinnix said that the delegation
felt that the bill is a logical
extension of the Slate Board of
Higher Education report. He said
that this type of regional system
would provide a sense of
direction for institutions of
higher education in North
Carolina.
"We feel," said Pinnix, "thai
this type of system is needed to
insure the highest of education
and greatest benefit for each tax
dollar spent on education."
The UNC-G delegation is
composed of John Pinnix, Mary
Knight, Terry Ashc, Jan Ward,
Jacqui Steinberg, Katie Gilmorc,
Dottie Lambert, Margaret
Keddick, Bruce Hiatl, Libby
Carpenter Poppy, Debbie Sweet,
and Deb WatU.
At laat year's session, the bill
introduced by UNC-G won the
Best Bill from a Large School. It
dealt with the licensing of day
care facilities.
Other bills from last year
included expansion of cast-west
highways, a bill concerned with
the distribution of birth control
pills, open housing, legislative
reforms, legal protection for
student teachers, and a bill
granting legislative veto to the
governor.
Solaroli, Students Discuss Grading;
'Carolinian' Reporter Thrown Out
A special committee met
February 20 to "look into the
matter of grading" in several art
courses taught by Lance
Solaroli. The Carolinian reporter
present at the meeting was asked
to leave on the grounds that
what happened at the meeting
was confidential not "grist for
the campus gossip mill."
Richard Bardolph, head of the
ad hoc committee appointed by
acting dean of the faculty H.I.
Miller, read a memorandum
from Miller which stated that
their purpose was "to be fair. We
do not want students unjustly
graded, nor do we with to see
the reputation of a faculty
member unjustly damaged. For
this reason, please do not let the
proceedings of the committee
become grist for the campus
gossip mill." Interpreting this as
calling for a closed session,
ilardolph asked The Carolinian
reporter to leave.
Since a first hand report waa
denied, several students have
volunteered information
concerning the meeting from
which this account of the
proceedings is taken:
The discussion centered
around four questions: One,
what was Solaroli's standards
for grading in the courses in
question? Two, what waa the
students' conception of his
grading standards? Three, what
is the discrepancy between the
two conceptions? Four, what
waa the problem in the
classroom?
According to students present
at the meeting, the main point
that seemed to emerge was a
lack of communication between
the instructor and the students.
In their opinion, Solaroli's "big
stand" was that a student must
reach a certain point in his
progress before there could be
communication.
A student from one of
Solaroli's Art 190 courses
commented, "All we want is an
explanation of why he fell so
many students failed or made
D's. It came as a shock to us
when we received our grades. We
were given no indication that the
class was doing so poorly. When
I went back after classes to ask
how I was doing in the course,
he would ssy 'Don't bother to
ask questions. If you need to
know something (about your
work), III tell you.' 1 would like
for another professor to be
allowed to evaluate our
notebooks. I would be satisfied
if the grades were changed to
satisfactory or unsatisfactory."
"We were told (in art 190)
that our work would be graded
on the basis of individual
improvement. Each notebook
would be examined as to how
well the individual had
progressed. After taking up the
notebooks, sll were so bad that
they had to be graded as a
class."
Another student commented
on Solaroli's statement Ihsl
grades were based on s number
of extensive lectures, "There
were students who were
successful. If you listened, you
could apply the principlea; If
you couldn't apply them, then
you hadn't listened." This
student went on to say thst the
students who were "for him sat
there and shook their heads at
the idiocies. About '. of the
people there were against him."
